Move More, Eat Well - Week 2

So, second week in Move More, Eat Well. And, a tough week as classes started this week so it means long hours, some pretty heavy stress, and a lot of time chained to the desk. I am happy to report that I made progress.

I focused on the Move More part in last week's post, so this week I wanted to focus on Eat Well. Let me begin by saying, "I love to eat!" Eating is a social, emotional, and creative activity for me (okay - eating isn't creative, but cooking is - and then I've got to eat it!) To reach my goal weight by November, I'm supposed to limit myself to between 1100 and 1300 calories a day. Luckily, I love veggies so some days that hasn't been as hard as it sounds. However, giving up really delicious food or a social meal with friends isn't something I will probably never be willing to do. So, I'm working very hard to adopt Alton Brown's moderation idea. Dr. Oz featured him on a recent episode and my friend Gayle sent me the link - it's a quick video and good if you can be a moderator: http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/alton-browns-superfood-list.
